Example sentences

• فَكَانَ نَقْلُهُمْ لِمَا سَمِعُوهُ وَشَاهَدُوهُ وَتَعَلَّمُوهُ مِنْهُ دَقِيقًا،

  Thus their reporting of what they had heard, seen, and learned from him was precise.

  سَمِعُوهُ — they heard it. A past verb with a plural 'they' subject and attached '-hu' = 'it' object pointing to the 'what'. One word gives 'they heard it'; this is the first of three parallel verbs listing what was reported.
